Where are the media and the cameramen when you need them?
"Where are the media and the cameramen when you need them?"
I was just listening to Bill Bennett's "Morning In America" and he said that if Kerry actually did "flip the bird" at someone who disagreed with him, in public, then the race is all over for Kerry. I wish the media would pick up on it. Hopefully someone in the media will ask him if he did it. If he denies it then witnesses will hopefully come forward and show him for the liar he is. Maybe this will become "Fingergate" or "Flipoffgate".
I'd be willing to bet at least one press photographer has photos of the confrontation, if not the finger. The pictures will not be published until such time as Kerry does something to piss off the photographer with the photos. Then we'll read about how he found the photos when looking at some extra frames stuck at the end of a roll of film that never got developed before or some similar tale. Needless to say, the photos will not be published until their impact on the 2004 election is moot.
The Kerry campaign had planned the visit so Kerry could call attention to one veteran's name. This veteran was wounded in '68 in Viet Nam, but he did not die until '76. Kerry applied the political pressure necessary to have the veteran's name added to the Wall. This was supposed to demonstrate Kerry's connection with Viet Nam veterans, but the confrontation with Mr. Sampley put the kibosh on the Kerry campaign's plans. Not even the partisan press would play along with that big a travesty.
